The Drooling Class

Clarice Feldman:

“…If you ever doubted that the country was in the hands of some very stupid and corrupt people, this week should have thoroughly disabused you of that fantasy. In one fell swoop, the administration left billions of dollars of military equipment in the hands of the barbarous anti-American Taliban; broke the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance by bugging out without warning to its members who were in Afghanistan in support of our mission there; left as many as 50,000 Americans and tens of thousands more of our Afghan allies to the not so tender mercies of the enemy; and on Friday Biden lied about it all…”

Click over for the whole disturbing thing.

We live in the age of stupid.

For me, one of the worst parts of this fiasco is the total lack of accountability for the government bureaucrats who created this disaster for our great country. They are fools who should be fired today. This includes Blinken, Austin, Milley, and also Kamala Harris, who can’t be fired (I guess), but who is obviously far out of her league and simply unable to cope. Maybe it’s best that Biden hide in his basement in Delaware, at least he is not making more terrible decisions (that we know of anyway).

Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal shows a disengaged, befuddled president

“…Shortly after President Biden on Friday claimed that Americans had safe passage to the Kabul airport, and the Taliban weren’t harassing anyone, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told members of Congress that some Americans trying to escape had been beaten by the Taliban. The next day, the US Embassy in Kabul said it wasn’t safe to go to the airport.

Which leaves two possibilities:

• • Biden lied.

• • Biden doesn’t know.

It’s likely the latter. It’s not that Biden doesn’t lie, it’s that all of his statements and actions of the past week show a disengaged, befuddled president who doesn’t care about Americans and their allies in Afghanistan. He has waved away all criticism, pretended everything is fine, flew off to Camp David. Yahoo News says a “war room” convenes every day at the White House — to discuss the infrastructure bill. Biden isn’t running the government. And those who are only care about spending trillions upon trillions of dollars.

It’s hard to capture in words just how shameful this all is…”

Former British leader Tony Blair blasts Biden exit from Afghanistan as ‘imbecilic’

Biden was always unfit to be president but his Left-wing media cheerleaders didn’t dare admit it

“…The world appears to have woken up to an important truth this week: which is that Joe Biden is a truly terrible president. It is a shame that it took America gifting Afghanistan back to the Taliban for so many people to realize this.

To be charitable, there were perhaps two reasons why this had not become more obvious before. The first is that Joe Biden is not Donald Trump and for a lot of the planet that seems to be recommendation enough to occupy the Oval Office. A break from the Trump show appealed to an awful lot of people.

But the second reason why too few realized what the world was going to get from a Biden presidency is that the US media simply didn’t ask the questions it needed to ask. Before the election a near entirety of the American media gave up covering it and simply campaigned for the Democrat nominee…”

Here’s What Was Omitted from the White House Call with the French…Because It Made Joe Look Bad

“…I mean, isn’t this an impeachable offense? I was told this was the case when the liberal media went nuts over Donald Trump’s phone call with Ukraine. Remember this was part of the non-smoking gun of the second impeachment attempt by congressional Democrats prior to the COVID pandemic. Well, it seems Joe Biden decided to edit his call with the French with the exception that he actually omitted portions of a call with French President Emmanuel Macron…”

We told you where this go. We warned you.

Afghanistan proves our failed generals no longer care about winning

Michael Walsh:

“…To the surprise of only the Biden administration and its top brass, the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan last week after 20 years of frivolous American adventurism. It was a spectacular failure of American diplomacy, statecraft, intelligence and, most of all, military capability. In short, mission very much not accomplished.

But that’s pretty much standard operating procedure for the nearly useless behemoth called the Pentagon, which hasn’t won a war since the kinder, gentler American government changed its name from the War Department to the Defense Department shortly after World War II. If you’re always on defense, you’re losing.

Largely thanks to the CIA and special forces, the punitive expedition against the launching pad of 9/11 was swiftly completed, the primitive Taliban scattered, and an example made. But then that soft-headed American notion of mission creep and “nation building” took hold, abetted by a succession of weak presidents and a careerist military utterly unfamiliar with the sweet smell of victory.

The result? Thousands of dead Americans and trillions of borrowed dollars down the drain. The demise of a sham “nation” that never existed in the first place. And another military humiliation as the world’s major superpower piteously is reduced to begging Islamic fundamentalists not to abuse our nationals trapped in the country and please, pretty please, don’t be beastly to the Afghan women and, by the way, please put one or two in your cabinet…”
